Assessment Tips
What measures do educators and administrators take in evaluating the success of their students?
The following is a short tip list for assessing program and student achievements.
Assess students based on rubrics rather than relying solely on grades. Student development is often more important than the final outcome.
Track student's progress throughout the course of the program through rubrics, or predefined criteria, often based on academic standards and 21st century learning skills.
Define clear program goals. Ask students to complete a pre-screening questionnaire, including what they expect to achieve from the project. Also, ask questions relating to student's current knowledge level. This helps in creating rubrics and tracking progress.
Collect data and evaluations throughout the program. Train teachers and mentors about the importance of rubrics and the assessment process. Encourage routine progress reports and student interviews, creating open communication throughout the program.
In this recent local school sample (2-15), notice how the learning goal and the scale ALIGN!
Subject pronouns (personal pronoun used as the subject of a verb) = i, you, he, she, it, we, they, what, who; I think she sees me!
Object pronouns (personal pronoun used as a grammatical object) = ie. They see ME. He's giving ME my book.
